Don't get me wrong, CM7 ROCKS! I'm running the nightlies on my phone. I just remember a time when the Dev forum was full of MANY different devs with completely independant and creative builds. Now it seems like the forum is DOMINATED by various builds, re-builds, and re-hashes of CM7. I know there are still non-CM7 developments going on, but it seems like it's the exception to the norm now.

Like I said, I'm a big fan of CM... but I'm a bigger fan of competition and diversity. And yes, I see the hypocrisy.

Anybody else feel this way?

Perhaps due to the recent OTA, once we'll start seeing some development. Many problems arose from aosp alone; it kept dev's away from the project.

I've had my Vibrant on a case since day one, I bought that black gel case at T-Mobile but I didn't like it because it was to fat so I bought another cool one.

Should I not use it without a case?

Will it scratch easily?

Hi there.

I don't use a case, but I do have a screen protector on both sides of my vibrant. I don't like the looks after putting the case on, yet I am worried I might get it scratched or damaged. So, as a solution, I decided to get an expensive, good quality protector. Works perfectly haha =D

i got ghost armor on my screen. i bought a plastic case on ebay for like $10 and its awesome. i hate gel cases cuz they just become giant lint traps eventually. it was well worth the money for the case. its still really slim and pretty sturdy (i've dropped it a few times) :D:D

I use a Trident case on my Vibrant. Its similar to otterbox, and comes with a built in screen protector (which I took off, it wasn't very effective in keeping dust out). Itbis a very solid case, I would recommend it if you are looking for a case.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huynhp:
I'm using a rubber case with no screen protector. The phone is in my pocket a lot and even without a screen protector, the screen is as good as new. I've dropped my phone once from about 2ft and i think the rubber case cushioned the blow quite a bit.

I'd go with a case if you can live with the bulkiness.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyCharlie:
I like a gel case because it doesn't add a lot of bulk and it gives a little cushion if you drop it. I've seen the screen on a Vibrant shatter from being dropped from just a couple of feet.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evans_gr:
I believe that a case is a no go, the gorilla glass is extra strong, a case would only make your phone bigger and heavier. Use a screen protector if you want to feel safe, or if you seriously want a case, buy one from zagg.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themrjason:
Why risk it without a case? Who here has never dropped their cell phone?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadJoe:
I use Zagg invisible shelf on the back, and nothing on the screen. No scratches yet, been 7 months. Also, coming from the G1, I have been using the pouch that came with my G1, and the Vibrant fits perfectly. You can get the pouch from Amazon for $5 with free shipping last I checked (OEM too, not some cheap knock off). Best $5 you'll spend on protecting your phone IMHO.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJBunch1228:
Going without a case is definitely more desirable. Cases are pretty bulky and take away from the thinness of the phone. However, I wouldn't worry too much about scratches without a case. I don't really care about scratches and scuffs, thats what invisible shields are for.

One awkward angle drop without a case and your $400 phone is toast. Thats the ONLY reason I use a case on any of my phones. With a case you are SO much more likely to recover from a drop. Either way, its your phone do what you please! :)

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnielsen40:
I'll chime in to pitch the barely there case - link here. It was my answer to wanting to ditch a case, but being OCD about damaging the phone.

I too had the tmobile rubber case at the onset, but eventually got tired of the extra bulk. I'm loving my combination of a real look screen protector and a barely there case...it's probably as close to a naked phone as you can get while still giving it some protection. Plus, the case helps me find the power button on the side, which becomes curiously elusive when I'm not sporting a case. :D

Zagg has a full body cover made from screen protector stuff. Adds almost zero bulk but it can be a pain to install sometimes.

So I saw a video on YouTube on how to disable HTC Sense and use the default stock launcher, however that device was running 2.1 and so it won't work on my device...

I was just wondering is there anyway to disable sense without installing a separate ROM on 2.2, thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowboard:
I think the only way is with a new rom
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Surfy89:
You can't turn in off, as you can't install Sense on a non-sense rom.

However, you can install a different launcher, i think the gingerbread stock launher is on the market.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaaystott:
Because HTC Sense is built onto the Android interface, shouldn't closing HTC Sense enable the stock launcher? All HTC did was take the 2.1 nexus Rom and write Sense into it, they never removed a thing so surely there is a way?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andQlimax:
They removed it ;-)

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaaystott:
Ahh thanks, they should give people a choice between Sense and the Stock Launcher. Fair do's people should just get the Nexus if that's what they are looking for, but the Nexus in the UK was only available on one network, and I for one completely prefer the standard Launcher, HTC Sense 1.0 (Desire Version) is very buggy and laggy.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
It surprise me that you know how HTC made Sense and at the same time you don't even know what it is.

Like mentioned by Surfy89, Sense is way more then the htc launcer (rosie). If you want to get rid of Sense you need to flash a alternative rom (AOSP).

If you are talking about using a different launcher then the sense launcher (rosie), you can just install a alternative launcher from the market. So you do have the choice to use whatever launcher you want. Al tough the sense widgets won't work with a alternative launcher.

This is the video I saw: YouTube

I got the wrong info, sorry for wasting time :eek:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Surfy89:
Even the comments under the video are saying it's an old feature. :)

Either install different launcher from the market (Launcher Pro, Zeam, Go Launcher ... plenty of them) or root and flash a custom AOSP rom. That's the way to go. :)

You might click on the "rating" header and you'll get a quick list of ROMS that have been appreciated, new and old. Look around, you'll probably find something you like. Do a search in this forum for your games that others have used on different ROMs, you might get some info. that way. I think you'll need a ROM with video drivers to get the games up and running. Solitaire is about as gamey as I get.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] utsmaster18:
For some reason everytime I try to transfer tv shows or movies to the phone, both internal or external memory, it won't transfer and says that the windows explorer has stopped working. Every single time this happens no matter how many times i try. And it only happens for some files. Other files will transfer perfectly no matter the size of the files.

Another issue is that when I do transfer the files, even though I have used some space it will still say that the space is the same as before.

I'm on windows 7 64 bit.

Any ideas how to fix?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
weird problem your having... how big in size are these tv shows ?? do you have an external sd card... if so plug that in to the pc and copy them to that, then back in the phone and move to phone memory or leave on the external card...

or you can just stream them from your pc, using built in 'allshare' app or a range of others found on the market
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] utsmaster18:
Each show is about 150-175 mb. The issue is that some shows will completely transfer without any problems. I've transfered 4 GB altogether at once but other shows won't do it. But then other shows will not even start transfer but immediately say that windows explorer has stopped working. I've tried transferring to both external and internal but they both give me the same problem.

This also only seems to be an issue with videos as I've never had any trouble with music.

No roots, lagfix, nothing, just stock 2.2.1
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrFredPhD:
Sounds more like a problem with your computer. Try copying the shows that give you trouble to a memory stick or something to test.

And I have to apply the rom again.

I have the Generation X - V2.0 RED installed on my galaxy S using Darky's ROM and itt works fine.

This is how I install mine:

1. Install Darky's config app from the market and set your preferences. I use voodoo kernel + no modem install + all the other options.

2. Reboot in recovery and install the room from the zip

3. Reboot the phone and let it do it's thing to configure the room.

4. Unlock your SIM and make sure the phone works with the ROM

5. If all is well reboot in recovery and install the theme from the zip

6. Reboot and enjoy.

Now some questions, based on your symptoms sounds like a ROM issue and not a theme issue. Did your phone boot OK after you installed darky's ?

Also what model do you have I9000, I9000-M, T959, T959-D, etc .. ?

Hi Rebbinio,

Thank you for your quick reply.

I ibstall the rom, boot the phone, use darky's configuration tool, every things works.

Now i boot to cwr and applied the theme, everything goes fine but the phone won't boot.

I think i did everything you did except from uninstallung the modem and my phone was unlocked so....

I don't know, someone told me i should delete the framework.jar from the thene????,
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SAEVARM3:
Why did you click on "Update from zip"? ...

if you are on Darky´s ROM you just put the Theme on the INTERNAL SD Card... Reboot to recovery and flash it

HowTo:

Reboot to recovery

choose "Install zip from sdcard"

choose "zip from sdcard"

Look for the theme and click on it

Then scroll down to YES

Go back

REBOOT

The theme should now be installed and everything should be working
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr-blue001:
Sorry I didn't choose the "update from zip"

I choose the Install from zip and then I select the theme and it get stuck after the reboot.

these are the steps I took:

1. wipe the device.

2. install Darly's rom.

3. reboot the device and use Darky's configuration tool.

4. boot into CWR

5. select install from zip - and I choose the theme.

6. I received the message that the theme was installed successfully

7. reboot the device - now it get stuck.

so what did I do wrong??

Thanks

mr-blue001 this is what you've posted.You should click on "Install zip from sdcard" and then "choose zip from sdcard".
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angiogram:
Maybe you can try backup and then delete "bootanimation.zip" from system/menu using root explorer first. Then try flash the theme again. If after the flash you got stock bootanimation galaxy s, don't worry just paste back the bootanimation.zip or you can flash other bootanimation.zip thru CWM. That is what I did when I flash Honeycom theme on Darky 9.3 beta3 ROM. And of course give them sometime to reboot. Hope you make it.

On my Captivate I had the ability to add a Direct Dial icon to my screen, allowing me to call someone with one press of a button. I was using Launcher Pro, and am not sure if it was that launcher of the Samsun firmware that gave me the ability to add that shortcut.

However, on the Atrix, also running launcher pro, I don't see an option anywhere to add direct dial, as in its missing from the list of things to add.

I can add a contact to the page, but then there's a second step needed to actually dial the number.
